Steve Jobs' Health Doesn't Matter (Dec 17, 2008, 20:34)
Cyber Cynic: "But, whether his health has gone

longer be at Apple's helm."

Rambus Redux: The FTC Tries One Last Time (and so do I) (Dec 17, 2008, 19:34)
Standards Blog: "The emotion arises in part
because Rambus develops and licenses technology, but does not
actually fabricate semiconductors. This has made its stockholders
